SkipCast vs Ruby

The search is over — SkipCast is your perfect Podcast app! Skip the ads, not the show. Genuine, automatic ad-skipping is a rare thing in a podcast app — and SkipCast does it in a way that feels like magic. It actually listens, right on your device, learning what an ad sounds like in each of your shows, then seeking cleanly past the breaks. You hear the content you came for — not the pitch. Here's how SkipCast skips: • By voice. SkipCast learns who's on the show and recognizes the host reads and sponsor spots by the speakers themselves — then jumps right past them. • By jingle. Most podcasts slide into ads with a little musical sting. Train SkipCast on that jingle once, and it catches every future ad that uses it. • By the speakers you choose. Only here for one or two voices? Tag your favorites and SkipCast can skip everyone else — perfect for panel shows and long guest interviews. Train it once per show and it just works — quietly, automatically, on every episode after. And because all of that listening happens on your device, nothing about what you play ever leaves your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just the show. SkipCast streams audio and video from your favorite Podcasts. Looking for something new? A powerful discovery system lets you search by category or interest — and even preview entire episodes with a single tap! Listen your way with Custom Playlists. Build your own playlists from any episode in your library, reorder them with a tap, and switch between them instantly. Or stick with Easy List — a single, automatically managed queue that just plays. Sound that fits real life. Advanced audio effects like Trim Silence intelligently reduce playtime, Car Mode evens out volume for noisy environments, and Treble and Bass Boost add kick and sizzle to make every Podcast sound fantastic! Built for battery life. Every square inch of SkipCast was built for efficiency, squeezing every possible bit of playtime from your device so you can listen longer and more worry-free. Hate being blinded at night? SkipCast automatically switches to a beautiful dark theme after dark. You want a Podcast client, not a flashlight! Of course, that's not all — SkipCast proudly features: • Intelligent ad-skip that learns each show's voices and jingles — all on-device and private. • Skip specific speakers to hear only the voices you want. • Custom playlists, plus the automatic Easy List queue. • Never any signups, ads, user accounts, or in-app purchases needed. • Powerful search to find and play your favorite episodes. • Video Podcasts including Picture-in-Picture viewing. • Four advanced effects including Trim Silence and Car Mode. • Lightning-fast access within episodes. • Full Bluetooth control of headsets and car stereos. • iCloud Sync to keep your devices up to date. • SharePlay — quickly share episodes with friends and family. • Rotation support, with the ability to lock Portrait mode. • Stream over AirPlay to your audio equipment. • The only client that supports the RawVoice donate standard. SkipCast is fast, efficient, private, and easy to use. Give it a shot and I know you'll love it too — only in the App Store!

Ruby is a beautifully designed news app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision. It's built with a familiar design, so it's simple and easy to use and understand. Ruby works great with your devices, and supports iCloud syncing for a seamless experience across all of them. The app itself has a lot of distinct features, such as being able to choose the topic you want to view on your home feed. If you only want to view technology without the politics, you can. Only interested in sports? There's an option for that too. With the explore page, you can also keep up with the latest trends in your region, or make a quick search for whatever you're interested in. Ruby also offers bookmarks, so you can find an article and come back to it later. We also offer customization. You can easily change the country you're in, or the language you prefer to read. The built in news reader is easy to understand, and provides content from your favorite websites, but without the advertisements and other nonsense. Ruby also offers an Apple Watch app, where you can quickly view headlines on your wrist. The Apple Watch app has the same functionality as the iPhone app, so you can easily read headlines of a specific topic, and more.
